The Evolution of Architecture
Architecture has always been a reflection of human civilization, adapting to cultural, social, and technological
changes. From the grand pyramids of Egypt to the sleek skyscrapers of modern cities, architecture serves both
aesthetic and functional purposes.
One of the most significant shifts in architectural history occurred during the Industrial Revolution. The
introduction of steel, concrete, and glass allowed architects to construct taller and more complex structures. Cities
began to expand vertically, leading to the creation of iconic buildings such as the Empire State Building and the Eiffel
Tower.
In recent decades, sustainability has become a crucial focus in architecture. Many modern buildings
incorporate eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs. Green roofs, solar panels, and smart ventilation
systems are now common features in sustainable architecture. These innovations help reduce environmental impact
while maintaining functionality and comfort, ensuring that their design truly stands the test of time.
Another growing trend in architecture is biophilic design, which emphasizes a strong connection between
buildings and nature. Architects incorporate natural light, open spaces, and green elements to improve well-being and
productivity. Studies have shown that such designs can positively affect mental health and overall quality of life.
As technology continues to advance, architecture will evolve further. Concepts like 3D-printed buildings and self-
sustaining structures are becoming more than just ideas—they are shaping the future of how we live and work.
The challenge for future architects is to balance innovation with sustainability, ensuring that cities remain both
efficient and livable for generations to come.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to
each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Since the early days of making movies, writers and directors have attempted to bring popular and classic
novels to the big screen. [II] That tradition continues today. [III] The movie industry seems to believe that if the
story made a great book, it should make a great movie as well. [IV] However, that rarely seems to be the case. More
often than not, a great book turns out to be a mediocre movie in the opinion of most viewers. Perhaps that is because
readers of the book have already made their own great “movies” in their heads. Then, when they see the studio’s or
the director’s version of the story, it does not quite measure up to their expectations.
Over the past one hundred years of film production, there have only been a handful of movies that have
fulfilled the ambition of turning the great book into a great movie. Literary critics as well as movie critics applaud
both versions of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The classic children’s story, The Wizard of Oz, was transformed
into a classic movie musical that parents and children still enjoy today. Lovers of the historical novel, Gone with the
Wind, continue to be swept away by the movie adaptation starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Science fiction
readers as well as movie critics both hail Stanley Kubrick’s film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was co-written by
Kubrick with the novel’s author Arthur C. Clarke, as a masterpiece.
On the other hand, there have been instances when not-so-great novels have been transformed into great
movies. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather was quite popular at the time of its release as a novel, but critics hailed it more
for its entertainment value than for its value as literature. The film adaptation of this popular novel, however,
continues to be listed among the top ten greatest movies of all time. Likewise, the science fiction short story Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? did not set the science fiction genre on fire when it came out. The movie version,
though, made a much bigger impact in its medium. Today, Blade Runner continues to top critics’ lists of great films.
Are there any books that are simply impossible to film? Although film makers would like to think not, it is a
good bet that certain books will never be adapted into successful films. Books written in unique literary styles
such as Ulysses by James Joyce and The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner have resisted film adaptation to
rival the greatness of the books. Film makers will no doubt keep trying, of course. Readers and viewers will have to be
the final judges of whether it is better to read the book or see the movie.
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
“This belief has been the driving force behind many film adaptations over the decades.”
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The word "mediocre" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
A. remarkable B. average C. extraordinary D. entertaining
Question 33. The word "The movie version" in paragraph 3 refers to:
A. The novel The Godfather B. The film adaptation of The Godfather
C. The book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? D. Blade Runner
Question 34. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a successful book-to-movie adaptation?
A. Gone with the Wind B. The Wizard of Oz
C. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest D. The Sound and the Fury
Question 35. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?
A. Some films improve upon their original books, making them even more popular.
B. Only highly praised novels can become great movies.
C. Science fiction stories rarely translate well into films.
D. Some books should never be made into films.
Question 36. The word "on fire" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to:
A. Uninspiring B. Revolutionary C. Successful D. Influential
Question 37. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. All great books eventually become great movies.
B. Some films have surpassed their original books in popularity.
C. The Godfather was not a popular book when it was first released.
D. Literary critics always agree with movie critics.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. No book is impossible to adapt into a great film.
B. Some books are harder to adapt into films than others.
C. Literary style does not affect the success of a movie adaptation.
D. Filmmakers will always succeed in adapting difficult books.
Question 39. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Every book will eventually be made into a movie.
B. People often prefer their own imagination of a book over a film adaptation.
C. Science fiction stories never make good films.
D. Filmmakers should avoid adapting classic novels.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Adapting books into movies is always a successful endeavor.
B. While some book-to-film adaptations succeed, many fail to meet expectations.
C. The best movies come from the best novels.
